There are no Olympic singles gold medalists on tour anymore. Way to go, WTT!

The form is upper arm driven and has recovery issues. Good luck making it stable with those fundamental issues.

It's called the breaking backhand when you form a mountain over the ball:

It is easier to enjoy piano playing than to play the piano. That said, some of the ideas in that video are what I am recommending to Gozo but not everyone likes to play with such ideas, they all think they are Ma Long...not realizing that Ma Long uses such ideas more than most...

I have reasons to believe this will not work for Gozo but if it does, I will learn something new.

If you don't like to move at all, it is impossible to play table tennis. If you don't like to move a lot, the main idea is to keep the ball on the backhand diagonal and to play good topspins. When people cannot stand the pressure, they tend to look for a moment to put the ball on the forehand...

The pips do degrade a bit differently but that comes down to personal style IMHO. Not enough to make the claim that one is far more durable than the other except maybe you are an extreme brush player.

I would need a video where you play controlled looping to be able to answer the question. The truth is that the way you imagine your play gives yourself a lot of credit. And that is okay, the most important think in TT is to enjoy your play, not to care about how others think of it unless they...

Usually, at the lowest level the sitting ball is the very easy ball. Not moving fast, we'll placed in your strike zone and esst for you to read so you can attack it and put it away with a good shot. Table tennis attacking in my opinion is about playing to get such sitting balls and expanding...

Your forehand is winning and costing you a lot of points. I don't know whether you felt the kid was so much better than you that you had to take so much risk. What you need to work on is either increasing the consistency of yout putaway shot or to build out the in-between game with more...

Thr main thing working in her favor is that rhe WTTC is not as big as deal as it once was. The Smashes deliver similar ranking points. She also has the bronze Olympic points for a while.

Nah, the reality is more insidious than that but I will leave that to others to find out and discuss. Let's just say that there are people who benefit from the CNT playing WTT within the CNT so it is more likely that FZD will need to accept the insane WTT schedule to play than for real change...

For now. And it is really a WTT fines protest. China can still field him if they want to or are willing to psy his fines.

FZD can still surpass Ma Long, he can win a couple more WTTCs and another gold in 2028.

I prefer ALC to ZLC for how I play, I feel SALC plays like ALC but faster in a material way that doesn't hurt your overall game. As in it is an improvement in speed and in a weird way spin/control that goes well with ball holding rubbers. So you could go from say T05 to Dignics or Dignics 05...

There is no reason why they can't field Fan, especially in team events. He is just tired of the WTT shuffle.

As someone who used mostly all wood blades up until 2020, I would say that while preference is always personal, if you want to take a step or two off the table without using a composite, you had better chop and even then, I am not entirely sold. Quality control and the reliability of composite...

It's clear to me based on the recent post translation that he hasn't retired from WTT permanently. He has the Olympic medal as leverage and can return to the tour on his own terms in a year or two or just be nominated by China to play if necessary.

Korbel retired and the Korbel is still out there. They don't retire brands without strong marketing reasons. Boll and FZD blades will be around for a while though LSD blades will surely be in the pipeline.

Gozo will give up TT before he gives up his prideful addiction to 1-ply speed, power and rebound.
